In another English opera company,
formed for the summer months, 1t was
found that the tenors were too Light for
the rest OF the chorus. The manager pro-
tested that there were voices enough, and
one of the singers were questioned why
he did not sing with more force. He re-
piled that c., the leader of the tenors,
didn't, and that if G. would not sing out,
lie was not inclined to strain his throat to
do the work Of two. c. was t~hereupon
interviewed, and his answer to the re-
monstrances of the manager was:
81 am paid summer wages and 1 re-
fuse to sing in anything but my summer
voice"
1t was thought that a singer who con-
cerned himself chiefly about the preserva-
ton of his voice for the regular season
was hardly the man to lead in a warm
weather troupe, and the engagement of @.
and his summer voice came to q speedy
termination Boston Cor. Providence

Vesey street from Broadway to the other
side Of Washington market in New York city
is a favorite t~horoughfare for street mer-
chants, men aud women. Every day some
have their wares displayed; but on Saturday
a small army Of them take possession OF the
sidewalk. They are not aggressive traders.
They do not attempt to make the innocent
pedestrian buy on ~compulsion. The silent
appeal suits them best. Indeed, they are
compelle to abstain from regularly attacking
the people who pass by.
Their wares are not OF n character to tempt
persons OF fine taste. Old clothes, tawdry
brio n brac, feather busters, ready made
solder for the use Of the careful housekeeper,
flowers, spoiled fruit, and other truck scorned
by the rich and comfortable, are the goods
they offer. They ave one enemy-one for
whom they are always secretly watching. He
is the spotter for the board which attends 10

1t seems to me that there is in our days
q breed of youngsters with minds quick
ened to a degree unequaled in their
predecessors. I know scores of these
boys, the like Of whom 1 knew not in my
OWE boyhood-alert, sharp witted, know
ing and full of that quality which used
to be called ~"gumption." Their growth
in this city appears to be promoted
mainly by three things. Firstly, by the
tremendous energy of New York life.
which prompts an early development of
the faculties, stimulates their action and
tends to what is known as ''level headed
ness" Secondly, by the common school
system. Go into these schools, look at
the discipline, scan the text books, watch
the mental drill, and then see how the
mind and manner must be affected in
the formative period between z and II.
Thirdly, by the daily papers. Multitudes
OF youngsters read other sheets nowadays
beside the weekly story t~ellers, as every
body is aware who keeps his eyes open
about town. Thus they get a smattering
of knowledge Of current affairs, social
progress, political, business and practical
life that works profoundly upon their
nature. These three agencies, it seems to
me, are fertilizing the boyish brain in a
wonderful way.~John Swinton In Kan
